Note to Sturl Hryn 19II

[3] valskar ‘southern’: Valland designated France, Normandy and Italy (ÍO). It is used here in the general meaning ‘southerners, the people of France and Spain’. See also Note to Mark Eirdr 24/2. The reading in G, vaskar ‘bold’, makes sense also, but it is not supported by the other ms. witnesses.
